Greg,

 

Love that obverse and the detail on the reverse.

 

Nice pick up.

Images of George III on coinage and medals seem to trace fairly well his progression from pudgy youth to heavy-set jowly adult. Here's an exception which makes me chuckle. It is a 49mm bronze medal produced in 1802 to commemorate peace with France and depicts George (who was in his 60's) as Britannia!

Great Looking piece. George has been working out hasn't he?

 

Very nice,

Here is the reverse of the 2007 Canada Gold $300.00 Shinplaster.

That's pretty funky..

Here's one for Latin American coin lovers, like myself - South Peru 8 Reales from 1838 (Cuzco MS):

 

... and a close-up:

Now that is a coin with some true character. All of the details are wonderful. The sun, ship, volcano, castle, and are those vultures? Very, very nice.

Thanks, Rey. No idea what the birds are. They do look like vultures holding something in their beaks... Really like this piece - nice clean fields and an even dull tone all over.

But my favourite recent acquisition is the 2007 Subscription coin, a recreation of the most valuable coin (4 pounds) in Australia's proclamation of 1800. The 1732 Gold Johanna, or 12800 Reis

 

 

Don't anyone dare try to outbid me May24-28 2008 GOLDBERGS have a genuine one of these.. its even the right date :wishluck:

[Yarm]

Occasionally these half dollar size tokens from the 1790's can be found in mint

red but I've become fond of the rose and blue irridescence some display.

[TwoKopeiki]

Nice token, Yarm. I agree that the toning is very appealing. Way to go!

 

Here's my latest, which I am so excited about. S.M. Damon pedigree NGC AU50 holder 1824 Central American Republic 8 Reales:

 

[dooly]

Stunning coin 2K

There have been some cool coins posted here which were overstruck on

other coins. Here's a Yorkshire halfpenny Conder token of 1792 overstruck

on a Cheshire token of 1790. (The bottom images have been lightened

and rotated to more clearly show the undertype.)

 

 

 

 

[farthing]

Very nice token Yarm!

[TwoKopeiki]

Nice, Yarm!

 

Now I'll just keep telling myself "I will not buy Conders just because they're cool"

With all the darkside auctions going on here and abroad, I'm sure there will be a lot

of "wins" posted in the next week. Let me kick it off with a medal I was pleased to pick up

in the Heritage token and medals sale. BHM 161 - copper medal of 1772 at 41mm.

 

[farthing]

Very nice medal Yarm! Lovely color.

 

Do you have one of the David Garrick tokens to go along with the medal?

[Yarm]

I don't have one of the Conders with Garrick's image. Some of

the BHM medals do a nicer job of depicting people and places

and I think this is one example.

[RareSov]

Why do you guys call them darkside auctions ?

[satootoko]

Why do you guys call them darkside auctions ?

Several years ago, over on the PC** boards, the term "darkside" for non-US coins was initiated - along with "liteside" for US and "greyside" for Canadian - and the usage has spread throughout the internet coin community.

[RareSov]

Ok cool thanks

 

Agreed thats a great medal yarm

[RareSov]

This is the 1868 Sovereign I posted images of.. seen here scanned in a flip. Has since been sent to NGC hoping for a 64 While I'm on waiting for it to be graded, any guesses at what NGC will give it are welcome!

 

 

 

Contact marks are mainly the bunch on the reverse above the bow, otherwise only some very light ones !

[rbrown4]

Rare Sov,

 

Nice looking Sovereign. Based on what I can view in the images I would say a MS 63. A very nice looking coin.

 

Thanks for showing,

 

Rey

[RareSov]

Won't be long now few days to a week and it will be graded...
